CrockPot Apple butter is one of my favourite things to make as a DIY Christmas gift. While it is amazing just spread on toast, Apple Butter Swirl Yeast Bread is another yummy recipe that features Fall’s best flavours. It isn’t a quick recipe but it is one that is worth the wait!
Apple Butter Swirl Yeast Bread
Ingredients:
1 cup butter
½ cup milk
2 packages dry yeast
¼ cup warm water
3 eggs, separated, reserve the egg whites
2½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup sugar
Filling:
½ cup walnuts, chopped
½ cup raisins
½ cup milk
1 cup apple butter
Reserved egg whites
1 cup sugar
Heat butter and milk over low on the stovetop until butter has melted. Cool to lukewarm.
In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water.
Beat in the egg yolk and the cooled milk mixture.
Sift in the flour, salt, and sugar. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Cover bowl and refrigerate overnight.
The next day, blend walnuts, raisins, milk and apple butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir until mixture thickens. Let cool.
Beat egg whites until stiff and slowly add in the 1 cup of sugar. Fold into the cooled apple butter walnut mixture.
Spray bread pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Divide dough into two equal pieces (4 if using 2 small bread pans) and dust each with flour.
Roll out (one at a time) to make a large circle.
Pour half of the walnut filling onto the dough and spread out over the dough and roll up jelly-roll fashion. Set aside and roll out the second piece of dough and repeat process.
When done, twist the two pieces of filled dough together, making a braid or twist. Place in carefully in bread pan.
Place on stovetop and let rise for 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350 degrees.
Bake for 40-45 minutes.
Cool in pan for 15 minutes and then invert to a cake plate. Drizzle with a vanilla glaze.
